Commit e534c7c5f8 ("numa: x86_64: use generic percpu var
numa_node_id() implementation") broke numa systems that don't have ram
on node0 when MEMORY_HOTPLUG is enabled, because cpu_up() will call
cpu_to_node() before per_cpu(numa_node) is setup for APs.
When Node0 doesn't have RAM, on x86, cpus already round it to nearest
node with RAM in x86_cpu_to_node_map. and per_cpu(numa_node) is not set
up until in c_init for APs.
When later cpu_up() calling cpu_to_node() will get 0 again, and make it
online even there is no RAM on node0. so later all APs can not booted up,
and later will have panic.

My platform makes use of the null_legacy_pic choice and oopses when doing

Do not register the sysdev function when the null_legacy_pic is used so
that the i8259 resume, suspend and shutdown functions are not called.

xsaveopt is a more optimized form of xsave specifically designed
for the context switch usage. xsaveopt doesn't save the state that's not
modified from the prior xrstor. And if a specific feature state gets
modified to the init state, then xsaveopt just updates the header bit
in the xsave memory layout without updating the corresponding memory
layout.

With xsaveopt, if a processor implementation discern that a processor state
component is in its initialized state it may modify the corresponding bit in
the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv as '0', with out modifying the corresponding memory
layout. Hence wHile presenting the xstate information to the user, we always
ensure that the memory layout of a feature will be in the init state if the
corresponding header bit is zero. This ensures the consistency and avoids the
condition of the user seeing some some stale state in the memory layout during
signal handling, debugging etc.

Found one x2apic system kexec loop test failed
when CONFIG_NMI_WATCHDOG=y (old) or CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y (current tip)
first kernel can kexec second kernel, but second kernel can not kexec third one.
it can be duplicated on another system with BIOS preenabled x2apic.
First kernel can not kexec second kernel.
It turns out, when kernel boot with pre-enabled x2apic, it will not execute
disable_local_APIC on shutdown path.
when init_apic_mappings() is called in setup_arch, it will skip setting of
apic_phys when x2apic_mode is set. ( x2apic_mode is much early check_x2apic())
Then later, disable_local_APIC() will bail out early because !apic_phys.
So check !x2apic_mode in x2apic_mode in disable_local_APIC with !apic_phys.
another solution could be updating init_apic_mappings() to set apic_phys even
for preenabled x2apic system. Actually even for x2apic system, that lapic
address is mapped already in early stage.
BTW: is there any x2apic preenabled system with apicid of boot cpu > 255?

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.

rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression
x86, Calgary: Limit the max PHB number to 256
fxsave/xsave doesn't touch all the bytes in the memory layout used by
these instructions. Specifically SW reserved (bytes 464..511) fields
in the fxsave frame and the reserved fields in the xsave header.
To present a clean context for the signal handling, just clear these fields
instead of clearing the complete fxsave/xsave memory layout, when we dump these
registers directly to the user signal frame.
Also avoid the call to second xrstor (which inits the state not passed
in the signal frame) in restore_user_xstate() if all the state has already
been restored by the first xrstor.
These changes improve the performance of signal handling(by ~3-5% as measured
by the lat_sig).

To support cache events we have reserved the low 6 bits in
hw_perf_event::config (which is a part of CCCR register
configuration actually).
These bits represent Replay Event mertic enumerated in
enum P4_PEBS_METRIC. The caller should not care about
which exact bits should be set and how -- the caller
just chooses one P4_PEBS_METRIC entity and puts it into
the config. The kernel will track it and set appropriate
additional MSR registers (metrics) when needed.
The reason for this redesign was the PEBS enable bit, which
should not be set until DS (and PEBS sampling) support will
be implemented properly.
TODO
====
- PEBS sampling (note it's tricky and works with _one_ counter only
so for HT machines it will be not that easy to handle both threads)
- tracking of PEBS registers state, a user might need to turn
PEBS off completely (ie no PEBS enable, no UOP_tag) but some
other event may need it, such events clashes and should not
run simultaneously, at moment we just don't support such events
- eventually export user space bits in separate header which will
allow user apps to configure raw events more conveniently.

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a
sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace,
except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches.
Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint
events.
However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions:
- debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the
next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use
it.
- task switch, but we don't use tss.
- icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and
generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF
flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception
in dr6.
icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals
but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint
code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that
doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check.
This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken
as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And
probably other apps do.

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.
Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.
These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.

Instruction breakpoints trigger before the instruction executes,
and returning back from the breakpoint handler brings us again
to the instruction that breakpointed. This naturally bring to
a breakpoint recursion.
To solve this, x86 has the Resume Bit trick. When the cpu flags
have the RF flag set, the next instruction won't trigger any
instruction breakpoint, and once this instruction is executed,
RF is cleared back.
This let's us jump back to the instruction that triggered the
breakpoint without recursion.
Use this when an instruction breakpoint triggers.

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the
pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
page table.
This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular
calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
x86 hardware.

Systems using the idle thread from process_32.c and process_64.c
do not generate power_end events which could be traced using
perf. This patch adds the event generation for such systems.
